49 RWHP with Apten port job

[mjtpolice76]

I decided to go with the Apten port job after they offered there special September pricing. First thing I did was go to the dyno to get a base line number. 441.6RWHP and 458RWTQ with mods in sig. Absolute barometric pressure29.92hg, intake air temp 88.0F with a correction factor of 1.00, time 3:15.36 EST.
Then I came home and took the blower off. Its not as easy as I thought it would be here are some pics of the blower before porting

heres the blower after porting


here are the three dyno runs after installed ported blower. No other mods except the ported blower. I tried to tweek the fuel and timing to get to 500RWHP but was unable to. The next mod will be Billit flow TB The absolute barometric pressure this day was 29.74hg, intake temp was 85.0F with a correction factor of 1.01SAE, and the time was 3:40.25EST at the same dyno.
I think the port job is worth the money!!!

I get my blower from Apten 9-27-04, and hope to dyno on the 28th I'm hoping for numbers as high as yours.

Nice results. I'm a rookie to this mod, so how does the porting actually help (I know more airflow or smoother airflow)... but looking at the pictures of the ported blower is a bit confusing.

What does the new "oval" port do and what is the fuction of the original round "valve" to the left?

Rookie questions...

Porting the intake allows more efficient filling of the cavity above the rotor pack. This increases airflow especially at high rpm.

Porting the output allows move direct discharge over the intercooler. This helps decrease boosted air temperature allowing better resistance to pre-ignition and/or detonation.

the round valve is the by-pass valve. Under vacuum conditions this valve is open. Under loaded conditions, this valve is closed.

I am about 50% through with removing my Eaton. I am taking a break to go to church and pray that the remaining 50% and the install goes as smooth as the previous 50%.

Peace.

BTW mjtpolice76, great numbers.

Maybe its just my computer, but all i see are red x's?

 

[cpu77]

WOW Those are great #'s! 48whp more! If these results were gauranteed I would do this in a heart beat! Even 40whp! Congradulations.

I would also like to see the air/fuel graph after the port. Did you change the tune any on the first apten pull? Wondering if it leaned out to cause such a huge gain. Most port jobs I've heard of are in the 35rwhp area. Looks like I'm adding the apten port to my list of future mods.

WOW...nice #'s...hope to do this soon as well.....Jon

I should have my Apten back monday 27th , my car dynoed 404rwhp with just jlp ram air and a magnaflow catback. when i get the apten back its getting a 2.8 put on so im hoping to jump from the 404rwhp to around 490rwhp with those 2 "SMALL" mods. =) ill keep you guys posted.....

 

[NHRACobra]

Excellent numbers. :thumbsup: Definitely plan to have mine done over the winter. ;-)

 

[SVT4ME]

Wow those are great numbers!

Ditto. Can we see your A/F? In many cases the ported blower leans out the A/F producing higher numbers. That's what happened to mine. I got 38rwhp with my Apten but after working on the A/F (which went a point lean to 12.5 - 12.75) it dropped to about 25.

Can you feel a big difference up top? Like it wants to pull forever? :beer:

 

[dgussin1]

I can see every pic except for the last one, the after dyno. Can you try and post it again.

 

[broke7]

Very nice #'s, nice difference over the old port design.

 

[ALLNTRL]

Best Apten #'s I've seen yet!!! Very nice gains for $400.00, can you say bang for the buck! :thumbsup:

 

[mike79]

Not even that, but the TQ holds so well. Damn! That is awesome.
